Fredericton, New Brunswick

Statement

Below is a statement from Assistant Commissioner Larry Tremblay, Commanding Officer, New Brunswick RCMP

I am deeply saddened to share with you that one of our New Brunswick RCMP members died suddenly on the afternoon of Oct 25, 2019 in the Dolan Road area of Rothesay, N.B. At this time, I am not releasing the name of the police officer, as the member's family, friends, coworkers and all of us grieve.

It's important to me that I share this information directly with our communities on behalf of the New Brunswick RCMP. A tragedy such as this raises many questions about the risks of the difficult jobs we do while also facing the same pressures, stresses and challenges as many others. While it is easy to conjecture or speculate on the circumstances, my priority right now is ensuring our member's family and our employees have access to the services and resources they need at this difficult time. Support is being provided, and I ask that their privacy be respected.

I would like to thank the Kennebecasis Regional Police Force, the Kennebecasis Valley Fire Department, Ambulance New Brunswick and the Saint John Police Force. Most especially I want to thank our RCMP employees for the work you do each and every day to serve our communities and support one another.

Please keep our member's loved ones and coworkers in your thoughts, and take care of each other.

A/Commr. Larry Tremblay M.O.M.

New Brunswick RCMP Commanding Officer
